Continental Disses Star Alliance Gold members
Well, Continental joined the Star Alliance last October and employees at United Airlines (where I am a 1K) have been telling us we will have "all of the privileges of elite status". Not according to Continental! After having been unable to change the horrible seats I was assigned on an upcoming flight, I contacted continental's Customer Service dept. They answered me 3 days later and told me "Unfortunately, the premium seating is reserved for our OnePass "Elite" members and is released to all members 24 hours prior to flight departure." It is bad enough they don't have the economy plus seating like United does, but now I have to sit in the back of the plane also? Won't be flying Continental again.
